Have you ever wondered what it would be like to buy inventory that almost always sells quickly? Do you ever get frustrated because it seems like by the time your inventory arrives at Amazon, your competition has “tanked” the price and you’re not able to sell your inventory at the prices you wanted? If it seems like your Amazon sourcing is more of a gamble than a sure thing, then this course is for you.

The Problem

A little over a year ago I started to get frustrated that many of the items I would send to FBA wouldn’t sell very quickly… and some not at all. I couldn’t figure out why. The sales rank and price looked awesome when I first sourced these items, but by the time my inventory was checked in to Amazon, the prices had tanked, and my profit margins were gone. Not only that, but I ended up having to reprice my inventory over and over just to get some of my capital back. And for the items I didn’t reprice, it would take forever just to sell – and some never sold at all.

Don’t get me wrong… this didn’t happen to all of the inventory I was sending to Amazon. I still sold enough items to earn a decent income, but it drove me crazy how many items I would try to sell for a profit, but I ended up just breaking even or even losing money. I knew this was not a sustainable business model. There had to be a better way.

The Discovery
I determined that I was going to get to the bottom of what was going wrong and committed myself to finding the solution. After a lot of trial and error I discovered three truths that totally changed how I was sourcing inventory to sell on Amazon:

Truth #1 – The prices on Amazon are constantly changing.Truth #2 – The sales ranks on Amazon are constantly changing.Truth #3 – There are free tools I can use to see both price and sales rank history.

Did you know that an item’s sales rank changes every hour? Every hour! I finally figured out what was going wrong! When I was sourcing for inventory, I was making almost all of my sourcing decisions based on that day’s sales ranks and that day’s pricing. Why I would ever expect those items to keep the same high prices and low sales ranks by the time I bought them, prepped them, and sent them off to Amazon is beyond me.

The Solution

If only there was a program that provided both pricing and sales rank history for most of the items on Amazon. If we had a program like that, then we could determine what each specific item’s average sales rank was… and the prices those items usually sell for. Good news! Both CamelCamelCamel and Keepa gather, store, and display the data from the pricing and sales rank history for most items being sold on Amazon. Now, when I’m sourcing for inventory through retail and online arbitrage, I take a few extra seconds and check the CamelCamelCamel and/or Keepa data and make a much smarter sourcing decision. By using these two amazing resources, I almost never buy an item where the price “tanks,” and if I do, I know that the price will recover fairly quickly.

The Results

In 2014, my Amazon FBA business made over six figures in sales while averaging around 3,000 items being stored in FBA warehouses all over the country. After big sales in Q4 2014, my FBA inventory level went below 1,000 items. Then in 2015, I changed how I made sourcing decisions (by implementing both CamelCamelCamel and Keepa), and my Amazon sales increased by 50% over the year before. But get this – my sales increased, but I decreased my average FBA inventory level throughout the year to only 1,500 items in my Amazon FBA inventory at any given time. That’s right, in 2015 I made around 50% more in sales than in 2014 while averaging half as many items in my Amazon FBA inventory as I had in 2014. (Also keep in mind, I did this while working part-time hours at my FBA business. If I worked full-time hours, sales would have grown even more.)

How is it possible that I was able to increase my sales while storing less inventory at an FBA warehouse? I was buying better, faster selling inventory. I began to take CamelCamelCamel and Keepa data more seriously and was able to make much smarter sourcing decisions. I was sourcing items that were selling so fast that I wasn’t able to really build up my inventory to the 3,000-item level I had the year before. Discovering everything CamelCamelCamel and Keepa had to offer totally transformed my Amazon FBA business.

I’m Stephen Smotherman, and I’ve been selling online since 1998 and on Amazon since 2011. Since 2012, I’ve been making a full-time income (working only part-time hours) selling via Fulfillment by Amazon. With my FBA income, I’m able to work from home and be my own boss, as well as support my wife and four boys. I truly love helping other Amazon FBA sellers, so I decided to share all of my best strategies for making smart sourcing decisions with you. When I finally started to take both CamelCamelCamel and Keepa seriously, I was able to grow my business by over 50%, while actually keeping fewer items in stock at Amazon. I was selling things so fast, I couldn’t keep up with my old stock levels. I’m confident The Reseller’s Guide toHow to Keepa Camel will help you take your FBA business to the next level.

“Wow! Cool course. I loved it. CamelCamelCamel has always confused me, but not anymore. Now, I really look forward to using these strategies to improve my bottom line. I will never source the same way again. I’m so excited about the things I learned. After watching video 8, Counting Sales, I now look at potential inventory in a whole new way. I believe if Amazon sellers are only looking at the current sales rank, then they are missing the big picture. After watching video 12, I am reinvigorated about my FBA sourcing. The Fast Turn Snowball is exciting, and makes a lot of sense. The screenshots in the videos are super helpful. They go a long way towards helping make sense of all the strategies and ideas that Stephen talks about in the course. My biggest takeaway is that sales rank is only part of the story. The course has solved a big mystery for me about sourcing. I have bought items with great sales ranks in the past, only to have them sit in the warehouse. This course explains why and will help me to avoid this problem in the future.” – Diana Jenks

Stephen also uses real life examples of sourcing decisions in which Amazon sellers can easily relate.” – Tracey Young
